Ferrari recently stopped a company building fake 250 GTO's - It just goes to show you that the market for fake clothing, watches, jewelry, and cars is very strong. People need attention I guess and fake luxury items are there ticket to prominence.

Can't seize property civilly (for the most part unless the government seizes property used in commission of a crime and so on hence case captions like U.S. versus one 1972 Buick and even that has to be litigated) this was the cost of defense move. I believe copyright infringement, if proven, can result in treble damages as a statutory remedy. The guy probably either sold the body to the putative plaintiff or signed it away in exchange for a release or covenant not to use in either case.^^So they (the plaintiff) gets possession the car and now they can/could put their stamp of approval on it and now sell it as one of theirs?

So this was a seizure of an "Eleanor"? I get seizures when I see them hyped and sold at auctions for insane money.
